Sharett Refuses to Leave Cabinet, But B-G Insistent

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Strenu-
ous efforts are being, made with-
in the Mapai Party to avoid a
crisis which seems to be shaping
up over Premier David Ben-
Gurion's insistence that Foreign
Minister Moshe Sharett quit his
Cabinet post and take over the
secretariat of the party, it was
learned here. All factions in
the Mapai feel that the party
needs a drastic administrative
overhaul to bring it into line
behind the government and help
solve the major domestic issues.
Mr. Sharett is pictured as re-
fusing to accept the job and as
being upset by "machinations".
which have deeply involved
him- without his prior consent.
The entire Israel press is giving
great prominence to reports
about the conflict and to the
reported opinions of various
personages involved. All sources
agree that a major party crisis
may be in the offing.
Mrs. Golda Myerson, one of
the three prominent candidates
considered for the job, has indi-
cated that she would not accept
the jab, unless drafted for it.

A party committee refused to
consider transferring Levi Esh-
kol from his finance post. Mrs.
Myerson, who has been sug-
gested as a likely candidate for
the foreign affairs post in the
event Mr. Sharett takes over
the party position, has delayed
her departure for Geneva where
she is scheduled to head an
Israel delegation at a session of
the International Labor Organi-
zation.
One "compromise" suggestion
bruited about Mapai circles is
for the formation of a "collec-
tive secretariat" consisting of
Messrs. Ben-Gurion, Sharett
and Eshkol and Mrs.. Myerson,
which would be in an advisory
capacity to some other "strong
personality" outside the Cabi-
net who would be assigned to
head the party.
TEL AVIV, (JTA) — There
will be no changes in the For-
eign Ministry, Davar, the Hista-
drut newspaper, reported here.
The labor paper discounted re-
ports that Foreign Minister Sha-
rett would resign to take over
the post of general secretary of
Mapai.

Attempt to Give Syria, Lebanon $75,000,000
In U. S. Military Aid Fails in Congress

WASHINGTON (JTA) — A
secret attempt was made to
include $75,000,000 worth of
military assistance for Syria
and Lebanon in the current
foreign aid bill, Rep. Wayne
Hays, .Ohio Democrat, disclosed
in the House during the debate
on the foreign aid bill. The pro-
vision which would have given
major military assistance to the
`Arab League states on a grant
basis was knocked out previ-
ously. Rep. Hays challenged the
item when the bill was before
the House Foreign Affairs Com-
mittee, causing its elimination.
Rep. Hays reported that the
Defense Department disavowed
responsibility for the item and
Washington officials indicated
that the ,State Department and
White House bore full responsi-
bility. It was made clear that
the Administration tried to keep
the matter "classified" and asked
Congressmen not to reveal it
in the name of "national secur-
ity."
The United States now grants
arms free to Iraq and sells arms
on_a reimbursible basis to other
Arab League states. If the Ad-
ministration's secret move 'pad
succeeded, Syria and Lebanon

$20,000,000 for Israel
Expected in U. S..Aid

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The
House passed a $3,800,000,,(100
foreign aid bill but it was im-
possible–to ascertain how muoh
economic assistance the legis-
lation contained for. Israel.
It was assumed by some per-
sons close to the legislative
scene that Israel would get not
less than $20,000,000 in the next
fiscal year. However, this was
admittedly guess-work as there
is no way of telling what the
final sum will be.
The government will publish
no figures until next January.
Apart from economic aid, the
bill contains $2,000,000 in tech-
nical assistance for Israel.

Meanwhile, the evening news-
paper Maariv reported that a
Cabinet shuffle based on. Sha-
rett's resignation has been post-
poned for two or three weeks.
The delay was occasioned by
pressure from other members
of the Cabinet. Maariv asserted,
stating that the crisis had not
been averted, merely delayed.
The paper predicted that Mrs.
Golda Myerson will eventually
take over the Foreign Minis-
try's post.
Other expected changes listed
by Maariv include the recall of
Ambassador Abba Eban from
the United States to Jerusalem
to head the political section of
the Foreign Ministry with Am-
bassador Eliahu Elath leaving
London to take up Eban's posts
at Washington and the United
Nations. For the London post,
Maariv said, the- name of Dr.
Walter Eytan, director general
of the Foreign Ministry, has
been suggested.
Reasons given for Ben-Guri-
on's wish for the proposed shifts
are:
1; His desire to put at the
head of the Mapai party a
strong personality who would
put clearer direction into the
organization.
2. A so-called "unhappiness"
at Sharett's "moderate" policy
on the Arab-Israel issue.
Ben-Gurion is known to favor
an "activist" policy, and he, as
other Israelis, such as UN rep-
resentative and U. S. Ambas-
sador. Abba Eban, fear that Is-
rael cannot now rely on the UN
for security in the wake of last
week's resolution which does
not put peace in the Near East
any closer than before.

Nat'l. Education Association
Bars Jews from Arab. Tours

NEW YORK, (JTA) The National Education AssOciation,
largest teachers' organization in the United States, was strongly
criticized for submitting to Arab demands- that Jewish, members
of the association be barred from joining tours which include
visits to Arab countries.
Four round-the-wbrld tours sponsored by the Association
now exclude Jewish teachers. Non-Jewish - teachers applying to
join are required to file' affidavits from clergymen attesting that
they are not members of the Jewish faith.
.
Bernard Donovan, chairman of the New YOrk City commit-
tee for the National Education Association, expressed indignation
over the fact that the association is complying with the Arab
request and submits to discrimination against Jewish members.
He said that the New York delegates will raise this issue at
the forthcoming national convention - of the NEA in Portland,
Oregon.
